Acta Cryst. D continues to welcome articles covering all aspects of structural biology, especially structures of biological macromolecules or the methods used in their determination. Growth of new areas remains a focus including cryoEM and electron crystallography. This month we are delighted to welcome five new Co-editors to Acta Cryst. D to help cover the breadth of structural biology we hope and aim to publish.![[link]](../../../../../../logos/arrows/d_arr.gif){kind=small}
![[Figure 1]](me6269fig1thm.gif) | Figure 1 Our new Co-editors: Svetlana, Evangelia, Rhys, Jiawei and Hongyi. |
Dr Svetlana Antonyuk is a Reader at the Institute of Integrative Biology, University of Liverpool, UK, and has particular expertise of metalloenzymes, and membrane proteins. She plays an integral role in the neutron and X-ray structural communities, and complements her research with cryoEM.
Professor Evangelia D. Chrysina is the Research Director at the Institute of Chemical Biology, National Hellenic Research Foundation, Athens, Greece. She has over 20 years of experience spanning crystallization, crystallographic data processing, protein and wider biochemical studies.
Dr Rhys Grinter is a Laboratory Head based at the University of Melbourne, Australia, and has a background in structural microbiology. He brings to the journal sound cutting-edge practical knowledge of crystallography and cryoEM as well as an interest in the use of AlphaFold as a tool in 21st century structural biology.
Professor Jiawei Wang is an Associate Professor in the School of Life Sciences, Tsinghua University, Beijing, China. He has a strong background in structural biology, having worked on both X-ray crystallography and cryoEM. In addition to his work solving structures of membrane proteins and studying bacteriophage lambda, he has a strong interest in computational methods.
Dr Hongyi Xu is both a Principal Investigator in the Department of Materials and Environmental Chemistry, Stockholm University, Sweden, and a Senior Lecturer in Electron Diffraction, School of Chemistry and Molecular Biology, University of Queensland, Australia. He has a high level of expertise in electron diffraction, particularly in methods of sample preparation and data collection.
These appointments will enhance and renew the Acta Cryst. D Editorial Board while increasing the representation from different disciplines and different geographical regions around the world.
